What are the advantages of the oil immersion objective?

One advantage is that it increases the resolution and clarity of the image, this is very useful for viewing specimens that would otherwise be to small to see without the oil. However it can be very messy to apply the oil and can take time and be rather difficult to clean the slide and the microscope. Moreover the slide could become damaged if vertical movement is used a lot; this is because the work distance between lens and slide is very small.


How do you remove oil from the slide and oil immerssion lens after use?

When you desire to remove oil from a slide and an immersion lens after using, for example, cedar oil, you would use Xylene to remove the oil. Natural oils can harden on the lens otherwise.

What are the names of the parts of the microscope that change the magnification?

I. Magnifying Parts 1. Ocular/Eyepiece-magnifies specimens by 10-15 times 2. Objectives: a. Low-Power Objective- 10-15 times-general view of the specimen b. High-Power Objective- 43-100 times-detailed parts of the specimen c. Scanning Lens- 5 times-general view of the specimen d. Oil Immersion Objective- 1000 times-used only for viewing bacteria; needs cedar oil II. Illuminating Parts 1. Mirror- reflects light 2. Condenser- concentrates light 3. Sub-stage Condenser- allows light to pass 4. Iris Diaphragm- controls the passage of light

Why liquid paraffin is prefer while using oil immersion objective?

Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is commonly used with oil immersion objectives in microscopy because it has a refractive index similar to that of glass and the immersion medium used in the objective. This reduces the loss of light due to refraction and increases the numerical aperture, allowing for better resolution and increased imaging quality. Additionally, liquid paraffin has a high viscosity which helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles and ensures a stable imaging medium.
